Whole Foods has a bigger selection of produce. Their fresh fruits and vegetables are usually very good but expensive.
Trader Joe's costs less and offers more food that's fun and exotic. These are staples I buy at Trader Joe's -- my favorites:
* Trader Giotto's Bruschetta -- "an Italian tomato topping with fresh garlic and fresh basil". I use this in soup, pasta, on crackers, mixed with hummous, with scrambled eggs and more. I always keep a few jars on hand.
* Trader Joe's Diner Classics -- Chili Mac with ground turkey. This is a refrigerated dinner with about two servings. I spice it up with Trader Giotto's Bruschetta. Great stuff!
* Vinta crackers, made by Dare. These come in a red box and are so good!
* Kerrygold Dubliner cheese, imported from Ireland. Costs less at Trader Joe's.
* Trader Joe's Brownie Truffle Baking Mix. Tastes like homemade brownies. Add butter and egg, mix and bake. Absolutely delicious!

I like them both, for different things. I love T Joe's enchilada sauce, and some of their frozen meals. I like Whole Foods' baked goods and they have one of the best cheese shops in town. I really like lemon meringue cookies, which T Joe used to have, and Whole Foods has now.

I tried their hummus with kalamata olives recently, and it was good.
